Pros: Sharpness, brightness, lightness, small footprint

Cons: Flare, Very High Price, Coma in the Edges

Opinion: I had the opportunity to shoot with Hasselblad 907X and CFV 100C and for 2 weeks with this 38mm fixed V series. Costing over 4000 euros, and being a fixed lens, I expected the maximum of the maximum, and I expected not to find any fault. Lens certainly of great value, very light and versatile, for making street or freehand portrait shots would be ideal, but I am a landscape photographer and I live photography in a very technical way. I noticed a bit of coma in the edges, and in the presence of strong lights, it suffers a bit of flare. The star it makes on the lights when you close the aperture is very nice, but sometimes it risks being too long. The very bright apertures of f/2.5 are useful, which I would gladly exchange even with an f/4 in order not to see coma and flare, which I just can't digest. Certainly the whole V series of XCD fixed lenses are extremely small, light and bright, I could recommend them to a portrait photographer, or to all those who do not examine the image in a technical and meticulous way like me. The 20-35E, in my opinion is of superior quality, despite being incredibly a zoom lens.
